Complete Guide: Text to Speech Converter
Everything you need to know about using this tool effectively
The Text to Speech tool reads text aloud using the Web Speech API built into modern browsers. You paste or type text, select a voice from the available system voices, adjust the speech rate and pitch, then click Play. The tool works offline after the page loads and processes everything locally, so your text never leaves your device.
This tool uses the browser's SpeechSynthesisUtterance interface to convert text into spoken audio. It accesses the voices installed on your operating system, which typically include multiple languages and accents. You control the speech rate (speed), pitch, and voice selection. A progress indicator shows which part of the text is currently being spoken.
